By Thomas Ferguson. Monograph Series #12, 2001. 8 page pdf.

In this paper, Ferguson gives a brief and concise history of the diaconate from the early church through the late twentieth century. He then defines the three functions of modern deacons in the Episcopal Church: parish deacons, institutional deacons and diocesan deacons.

AED is a membership funded association of persons and dioceses within The Episcopal Church whose mission is to increase participation and involvement of all baptized persons in Christ's diaconal ministry, especially by promoting and supporting the diaconate.
